Yes. Great drawings/animations too that show a lot of thought and effort being put in. Cheers for the links.

Do you need a licence to operate a boat in Venice? Update - it appears you do and it's pretty tightly controlled.

You need a licence for engines over a certain power (50 hp IIRC), but that's an Italian thing, not particular to Venice.

Plus, depending on what you do with that boat, you may need particular permits for commercial activities (to transport stuff, people, to fish).

Also consider that not all boats can go in all canals.
